Body-Mind Centering® und Performance
Movement Research zum Thema Organe
Movement Research on the subject of the organs
In this workshop we will explore the vitality of our organs.
Our organs are full, soft, round, juicy and buoyant. They glide against each other and support our skeleton and its upright position from the inside. They give fullness and power to our movement.
Each organ has its own quality and dynamic and supports a different aspect of our movement. They are an integral part of presence and the power of expression.
Through this movement research we will establish a common basis with which to enter into spontaneous composition together and to play with space and timing – solo, in duets or as a group.
This workshop is open to everybody with an appetite to explore his or her movement and creativity as well as to performers and dancers who want to deepen their physical knowledge and understanding of movement.
No previous experience is required. Translation in English is possible.
